MY BIRTHDAY.

The following beautiful verses, written s.
,ral years ago by John g. Whittier, and brea
ng the pure sentiment of a noble soul at pc;
md full of trust, will be read with fresh inter
IN the Soth anniversary of his birth.
Beneath the moonlight and the snow
Lies dead my lates, year:
The winter winds are wailing low
It's dirges in my ear.
grieve not with the moaning wind
As if a loss befell;
Before me, even as behind,
God is, and all is well.
His light shines on me from above,
His ] wv voice speaks within
The patience of immortal love
Outwearying mortal sin.
Not mindless of the growing years
Of care and loss and pain,
My eyes are wet with thankful tears
For blessings which remain.
If dim the gold of life has grown.
/ will not count it dross,
Nor turn from treasures still my own
To sigh for lack and loss.
The years no charm from nature TAKE:
As sweet h er voices call,
As beautiful her mornings break.
IS fair her evenings fall.
Love watches DER my quiet ways.
hlnQ voices speak my name,
And lips that find it hard to praise
Are slow, at least, to blame.
How slowly ebb the tides of will
How fields once lost are won
Now lie behind me green and still
Beneath level sun
How hushed the hiss of party hate,
The clamor of the throng
How old, harsh voices of debate
Flow into rhythmic song
Methinks the spirits temper grows
Too soft in this still air;
Somewhat the restful heart foregoes
Of Deeded watch and prayer.
The bark by tempest vainly tossed
May founder in the calm,
And he who braved the polar frost
Faint by the isles of balm.
Better than self-indulgent years
The outfiung heart of youth,
Than pleasant songs in idle ears
The tumult of the truth.
Rest for the weary hands is good.
And love for hearts that pine,
But let the manly habitude
Ofupright souls be mine.
Let winds that blow from heaven refresh,
Dear Lord, the languid air:
And let the weakness of the flesh
Thy strength of spirit share.
And, if the eye must fail of light,
The ear forget to hear,
Make clearer still the spirits sight,
Make fine the inward ear
Be near me in mine hours of need,
To soothe, or cheer, or warn,
And down these slopes of sunset lead
As up the hills of morn?

Works AND MERCY.

On another Sabbath, according to Luke
wi. 81, JESUS went into the synagogue, and
there being man present with withered
hand, the scribes and Pharisees, wishing to
find a ground of accusation against him,
asked, sis it lawful to heal on the Sabbath"
According to the traditional interpretations
all healing, except to preserve life, was for
hidden by the law. JESUS replied with a
question relating to the common practice of
the Jews with respect to the care of their
focks. If sheep fell into water pit or
cistern on the Sabbath, it was considered
lawful to lift it out; the mercifulness of the
act was deemed justification for the labor
required. is not a man much more valua-
BILE than a sheepP" he inquiries; and declares,
SIT is lawful, therefore, to do we'll on the Sab
BATH" When he had said this to the would
be accusers, he said to the man, Extend
your hand;" and when he extended it it was
restored to health. JESUS had performed an
act of mercy, and had avoided any ground
for charge of Sabbath breaking. The story
illustrates the true spirit in which the Sab
bath may properly be observed as day of
rest. No law OF the Sabbath which GoD can
approve, forbids the doing of deeds of kind
ness and mercy.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-11-19
SUNDAY.

From the seventh day of the week, OBJ
served by the Jews, the Christian Sabbath
has been changed to the first, the day of the
resurrection" the day that saw the Lord
arise" In addition to the Old Testament
grounds for its observance, which are of uni
versal and perpetual obligation, 1t has become
a memorial also of the love of GoD for man
kind, manifested in JESUS, and of his life of
obedience and holiness. The Christian Sab
bath may be properly observed by the suspen-
sion of all common labor, and in doing neces-
sary works of charity and mercy, and In the
public assemblies for worship, and in private
study of the Word of GoD and the cultivation
of Christian character and graces. Whatever
is consistent with the example and spirit of
CHRIST is lawful on the Sabbath. 1t is day
of rest, in the interest of humanity, from
servile labor, with such exceptions only as
necessity and mercy require. 1t is day OF
labor for the spiritual welfare of mankind:
day for the development of all that Is hottest
and best in the human soul: day for the
culture of family and social affection; day
by which man may draw more closely to
whereby to defend himself against the temp
tations that assail him in life. To define in
every particular, and for every one what may
be done and what may not be done, is inn
possible, according to the rule of Christian
ity. The attempt to do this was the error of
the scribes and Pharisees. Let every one sub
NIT himself to the Lord of the Sabbath-be
sincerely Christian, and he will be alaw unto
himself, and so fulfil the law of CHRIST,
which is "the law of liberty"
All attempts to wholly secularize the day
observed as the Sabbath should be discoun-
tenanced by all who love their fellow-men.
'sThe Sabbath was made for the sake of man"
all men. 1t is needed by all as a day Of
rest, and above all, as favorable opportu-
nifty for the active recognition of GOD and
communion with His Holy Spirit. All, and
specially the children and young people in
our Sunday schools and churches, should be
taught and encouraged to remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy" When kept
sacred to Con and the soul it becomes

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 81. 1887.
BY REV. ROBERT T. POLK.
JESUS AND THE SABBATH.
Matthew xii. l-14.]



The incidents contained in the Lesson oc-
curred early in our Lords public ministry,
probably before the Sermon on the Mount.
The use of the phrase at that season." with
which our Lesson begins, does not necessa-
rily imply that what follows in the narrative
occurred Immediately in connection with
what precedes, but only that it belongs to
the same general period of time. The
period of time referred to is proba-
bly, the time of the Galilean ministry,
when the common people heard him
gladly, and the rulers and teachers refused
to accept him, declaring that his teacnlng
and PRACTITIONER destructive of the law and
the prophets. Pursuing his treatment OF
successive topics connected with the life ana
labors of JESUS, our Evangelist proceeds to
describe in particular the opposition he en-
couptered and the reasons for his rejection
by the scribes and Pharisees. They refused
to accept him because he did not accept and
teach their Interpretation of the law or the
prophets. In their view he was lawless and
profane, disregarding their most sacred rites
of religion and rules of righteousness. ne
was a Sabbath breaker, because he perform
ed his works of healing on the Sabbath day.
He was a blasphemer, claiming to do his
mighty works by the power of COP, when ne
was in league with the prince of demons. He
failed [refusedl to show the "signs" which
they demanded. For these and other rea-
sons she was despised and rejected" by
those whom he came to prepare for the long
looked for kingdom of heaven. Our Lesson
narrates two instances when JESUS and his
disciples were accused by the Pharisees OF
violating the sanctity of the Sabbath day.

SOME STRANGE CONFESSIONS.
Several Good Stories Which Con-
Vey Very Needful Morals.

The Rochester IN. " Union reports
having this dialogue with an eminent
physician:
"Can you cure cold for me?"
ST dare say; where is it
"Do you treat yourself for colds?"
"That depends on how bad they are.
I had one last week and fixed up dose,
but I didn't dare take it. kept it over
night and gave it to 'desdhead' patient
the next dayP
"Then you don't dare take your own
medicine?"
"Nol 1 don't dare, and have no fam
lily physician"
A gentleman some time ago consulted
his physician about severe rheumatic
attack. AS he was leaving, the doctor
said:
"Should my prescription afford any
relief, let me know it, as 1 am suffering
from an affection similar to yours, and
for the last twenty years have tried in
vain to cure itP'
The best Of physicians now have the
trankness to admit that the schools have
not yet mastered all there is to know
about the causes of disease, and the best
methods of cure. There has been great
advance, no doubt, in medical science, in
the last fifty years. Doctors themselves
do not take their own physic, even though
they may saturate the systems of their
patients with poisonous drugs, nor do
they bleed, blister and torture as formerly.

Rheumatism originates in Tactic acid in the
blood, which settling in the joints causes the
pains and aches of the disease. Hoods Sar-
saparilla cures rheumatism by neutralizing
the acidity of the blood, and giving it rich
ness and vitality. Try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
